Track Track and Moving Features

Typhoon Karen (196221) 的生命史始 at Northwest Pacific远洋海域, 整体路径呈现显著的“W行—转 toward NE”的抛物线形态. formed初期 (11月7日至11月13日) , 系统主要受副热带高压S侧引导气流影响, 保持稳定的W toward Moving. 从初始Position (7.8°N, 152.4°E) 至最W端附近 (17.8°N, 131.7°E) , The latitude持续N抬, During由E toward W大幅跨越约20个经度. 值得注意的是, 在11月13日至14日期间, 路径出现明显的转 toward 征兆, Moving direction由W逐渐转为NW, 随后在11月15日后加速转 toward NE direction. 11月16日至18日, Typhoon Go to 中高纬度海域, 路径迅速 toward E延伸, 最终消散 at (35°N, 175°E) 附近. 全生命周期内无Landfall记录, 始终在洋面上活动.

Evolution of intensity and peak state

Karen的Intensity演变具有“快速增强, 长期维持, 缓慢减弱”的典型特征. 系统在 formed后短短不到两天内 (11月7日18时至11月9日06时) , wind speed由23m/s急剧攀升至82m/s, 达到Super Typhoon级别, 显示出极强的爆发力. 在随后的近一周Time内 (11月9日至11月14日) , 其核心Intensity维持在极高水准, max wind 多次记录为82m/s或77m/s, minimum pressure 虽数据缺失, 但依据wind speed判断, 其处 at Super Typhoon等级的巅峰平台期. 直至11月15日N上至23.1°N附近, intensity 才开始出现实质性下滑, wind speed降至56m/s. Go to 温带海域后, 受垂直风切变及海温降低影响, 系统迅速减弱, 由Severe Typhoon级逐级降为Tropical Storm级, 最终在11月18日结束生命史. 相较 at 其他同名Typhoon , 1962年Karen以其长达数日的Super Typhoon维持Time和极高的峰值wind speed, 在历史同期Typhoon 中表现出罕见的持久破坏潜力.
